it is (not is) water





Was (Not Was), What Up, Dog?

Yep, another "one-hit wonder, the band had its hit "Walk the Dinosaur" & released this album back in 1988.

Yep, the year I graduated high school.

You may have heard Queen Latifa's cover  in Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs.

Another genre-bending band, into jazz, funk, disco, & rock.

Don Was went on to record & produce artists like The Black Crowes, Garth Brooks, Poison, Ziggy Marley, Barenaked Ladies, Bob Dylan, & about a million others.

Yes, "eclectic" is the word.

Juniors:
More "Water," some of the greatest words of wisdom ever.

By demand, a DFW recommended-reading list is coming.

Remember, get out of your own head for a while when possible, re-configure your "default setting."

Because of fantastic discussion of the ideas w/in "This Is Water," we will get back to the "Forward" part of Friday 22 October.

Sophomores:
Forward!!!

Active voice.

Sounds familiar . . .

be cool

(that sounds familiar, too?!?)
